In state kid, shot it 40% from deep his freshman year. 

Haven't seen him play in person so don't know if this would translate to high major. Anyone here who has seen him play?

He’d have to sit out a year right?

Yes he have to sit out but he’d have three years remaining of eligibility. He had a really weird recruitment from my memory. Lots of the bigger are schools were in on him until his senior year. He put up some good numbers as a freshman but I’m not sure if and how it would translate

It would've been nice to get him and Aaron Henry last year.

Instead we got Anderson who cant get off the bench and Hunter who apparently has serious health issues.

Highlights of Uotimi a transfer from Akron.
He was coached by John Groce though. Whether he is Power 5 type, I'm not sure.

Getting back to 2019 recruiting, I saw today that Lawrence Central’s Jake LaRavia has reopened his commitment. 6-8 and from what I read from Matt Glendale from the Star he can shoot and handle it. I’m his article he called him the most complete offensive player in the state of Indiana this last season. Curious to see if the staff will reach out. Anyone here seen him play?

Looks like the kinda kid that goes to Wisconsin and has a stellar career.

He was definitely “on” that game. Curious as to his season % though.

 

Edit: 6-6 forward

~40% FG

~37% 3FG

There are probably others on here that have a better knowledge and closer sources but the secondary source that I am close with says that the staff are going to be interested and looking at Easley as a transfer.

Not making any judgment whatsoever on Easley only that he and others like him are of no benefit to us next season because they'll have to sit out a year.  For help next season from a transfer it will have to be a grad transfer or a kid who sat out this year for some reason.

Help me.  Kid decommits from SIU-Edwardsville and all of a sudden he's capable of being a contributor at Indiana, but Luke Brown, who averages 35 points a game, can shoot the lights out, and has big time D1 interest isn't someone we should go after because he's got some limitations as a sophomore.
I'm not saying either are right or wrong, but I do laugh at the logic and reactions.

I mean i guess we can go after him but i thought we needed immediate help? An SIU is suddenly ready for the big ten?

I wasn't aiming any comment at you.  More smiling at the mentality that seems to say year after year that kids are magically ready to be Big Ten players simply because they become available.  If they can breathe, they're a target.  "Best offensive player in Marion County" and comments like that make me smile... 
Cathedral is in Marion County, and I can promise you Arman Franklin is worlds better offensively than LaRavia.   Ahmoni Jones from Pike put up 32 and 10 head to head AGAINST LaRavia this season and just killed him.  I'm just saying I can see the legend brewing because he's available.   
Remember Mike "Kong" White who was going to come here and dominate the paint in the Big Ten?   That started with a highlight video.

Like priller and april!!!

I don’t think that anyone has said IU should recruit Laravia. People have just mentioned he played well at Lawrence Central and just recommitted from his school.

Beyond curious to see how we finish off this class and who may transfer.

Apparently Ostrom is checking out Ben Roderick tonight. He’s a 6’5 wing from Ohio that’s been killing it in his senior year. Doesn’t have a high major offer but OSU and Xavier have been recruiting him.

Just looked him up. Article had a quote of him saying he has always dreamed of playing at Ohio State so if they end up offering we won’t need to waste our time

Ben goes to my son's school, lost tonight to St. Vincent St. Mary's, LeBron's old school. Has had a very good senior season after ACL injury last year kept him out of AAU last summer. He does want to play for OSU, and holtman has been to his games. 6'5 wing, has had games he can't miss but isn't pure shooter, streaky. Had a 51 point game in Florida around Xmas. He's a good kid too.
